Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
A good budget hotel
I give it 5 stars, but I don't mean it is a 5 star hotel, I mean it is good for a hotel on the budget end. Of course "budget" hotel in Ireland is still really expensive. The rooms are VERY small, and you will be tripping over things. And of course it has that ubiquitous Irish half shower wall. But service was good, breakfast was fine (well, a bit overpriced for what it was actually), mostly quiet, clean.

Overall a good experience, the booking in took far to long as a dissatisfied customer took up to four staff members to deal with her complaints, to the detriment of others trying to book in.

Location is great, right near the action. It can be a bit loud but it's due to it being in a central location (outside noise versus inside noise). The bathroom is tiny but functional. It's a smaller room but the location is what you are after.

I had a flight that more than half way thru to Dublin, had to be turned around & grounded overnight elsewhere, & so I missed out on the 1st of 2 nights at this hotel. For something that is completely not my fault or my control this hotel didn’t approve a refund for me to Expedia !!!!!

Really wonderful hotel. Great location, beautiful spacious rooms with new modern furniture, and comfortable beds. Only issue was some cleaner/air freshener they use is quite strong but thankfully didn’t give me a migraine.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved the coffee bar in the lobby. The rooms are nicely appointed, but could use a small refrigerator. The bathrooms could use a little renovation TLC, but it was all perfectly fine. The location was great and provided easy access to many of the attractions we wanted to visit.
